This episode marks the first appearance in the series of the blue-skinned Pantoran people who made their film debut in Revenge of the Sith as cameos by George and Katie Lucas. Pantoran senator Riyo Chuchi has a consistent presence throughout the series. The Talz species originates from a background character in the cantina in A New Hope. The narglatch creatures ridden by the Talz originated as concept art for creatures on Naboo in The Phantom Menace. We’ll see a narglatch again in Season Five. Pantoran chairman Chi Cho will get a replacement.
